Even with the Yankees. He has adamantly resisted this. So like you I can't imagine why the Nationals traded for him with the purpose of switching his position. Not too bright. Clearly Soriano is not too bright either. He is a below average defensive second baseman and not going to get any better. Maybe he could be an average or above average outfielder. What does he have to lose? Maybe a Hall of Fame spot that's what. Mike Piazza will probably get into the Hall of Fame because he is a catcher. He has good numbers but if he were a first baseman his numbers wouldn't get him in. Same deal at second base. If you have outstanding numbers at that position you could probably make the Hall even as a so-so defensive guy. Maybe Soriano is not so dumb after all.The Armchair Quarterbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662260665770330419noreply@blogger.com
